    My freshman year of high school, I won a round at the state debate tournament running a Philosophy I made up. Opponent was pissed and tried to get me disqualified. I can only imagine: 'You were creative. You lose, dude.'

    I also thought it was cool to jump 15 spots to first in my class in ranking my junior year. I had been known as a bit of a druggy before, so that was a surprise for the ones on the top. Lately, I don't have much to be proud of. Running a business, but it's small enough to force me to sell Neopets items to keep from actually working :/ You all have great accomplishments!
    Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

    My art. Someday I'll have to show you guys my bigger pieces, but I'm holding on to them until I can figure out something profitable with 'm.

    I'm proud of being good with animals, I'm proud of how adorably decorated my little home is, I'm proud I'm going back to school.

    It's incredible that you became fluent! My mother attempted to raise me to be fluent in Spanish and American Sign Language. She was unsuccessful with both attempts, but I've a bit of translator-experience with the former now in my adulthood.

    Congratulations on having such an impressive average! and the piano is an amazing art... using both hands in unison to achieve different sounds... fascinating. <3

    I can't think of a business that didn't start off small. There are beginning and learning stages to everything. If you offer a customer-valued service/good, the sales will come. Don't fret! Being independent -- even if ya have to part with virtual goods -- is worth being proud of!

    I look forward to seeing your art! You're such a sweet, sincere gal... I bet your expressive pieces are stunning! and yes, I fancy you immensely for your animal adoration.

    Thanks (: . Haven't had time to play in a long time due to college . My dad had me in a British school when I was in Pre-Kinder, in which I was kind of obligated to speak english.. It really helps though, way more career opportunities. I also could never get ahold of a decent sign language :'c.

    Yeah, I preferred to do the signs single-handed, which is the 'norm' for most (other than like Jesus, et cetera). It's something I'll be looking into in the future, as I want to provide Autism services on a volunteer-basis once I've moved and settled into my 'new' career.
